Majikoi! Love Me Seriously!
Was an instant buy for me but didn’t expect it’ll be like this….
Majikoi….YES YES YES YES! Finally, they actually did an official localization of this gem! And to bring it to steam as well! Nice going Minatosoft. Tried this game years ago using the fan-translation patch which was done splendidly by the translation team and got instantly hooked by the myriad amount of characters personality and while the story might seem generic in the sea of school life themed VN, they still did a wonderful job in delivering it and made it captivating as well. The steam version, however….I have mixed feelings for this one.

We live in a society, where a free fan translated game is superior to the same game on Steam. Wow
I want to support the devs who created a great game but these kinda half baked product isn’t doing it any favours.
You buy the Steam version, you’re getting choppy game with voices being removed for important side characters especially villains that are important to the game and changing the names for characters as well.
HENCE, must get the DLC patch from JAST USA (why it isn’t on steam though smh) and voice restoration patch to add better translation and voices so you can experience this game fully as it was meant to be. Similar to mods, but these are necessary mods that will make you mad why they didn’t do it well, idiots.

古剑奇谭三(Gujian3)
After series of disappointments to find a decent story-driven RPG among modern games and tired of replaying classics I’ve decided to give a chance to a Chinese RPG. So I’ve bought Gujian3 and… put it aside after the first mission considering it to be some mediocre slasher. Last year I gave a go to another Chinese RPG - Xuan-Yuan Sword VII and was relatively satisfied by its story ang gameplay. After that I checked my Steam library and found long-forgotten Gujian3. Struggling to drop it during the first mission I’ve reached Skyelk and finally found what I seek in games - a decent RPG with involving story and interesting characters. And it appeared to be so involving that became my “second reality” for two weeks. Thorough gameplay took 100+ hours and almost none was boring.

This review has no spoilers and is very long.
Before you buy it, you should know this game is heavily story-driven and exploration-based. If you are a gamer that like exploration, collecting rewards, and/or storytelling, you are in for a treat!
This single-player game does require internet connection to run. This very inconvenient function might have something to do with IP protection during its initial release in China to prevent pirated copies. Unfortunately, the IP protection was carried over to the Steam version, likely because the developer wasn’t planning to release the game in English during its initial release in 2018.

大江湖之苍龙与白鸟
The 11th year of Shaoxing in Southern Song Dynasty (1141 AD)
The Song and Jurchen-led Jin Dynasties were divided by the Huai River. The north of the river belonged to Jin and the south belonged to Song.
Song ceded many of its prefectures to Jin and paid tribute annually.
With even its emperor announced by Jin, Song became a client state.
…
Now, ten years has passed. Despite the seemingly peaceful relations between Song and Jin, there have long been turbulent undercurrents in the world of Kung fu.
The martial arts world is full of chaos, with numerous heroes standing out. Among them, there are the Four Wonders overshadowing all the others, named ‘East Shu’, ‘West Bo’, ‘North Gu’ and ‘South Po’…
[Classic pixel-art RPG for Chinese Martial Arts]
This is an SFC/MD-styled-pixel-art game. In-game scenes were inspired by Song Dynasty’s ink painting style, this game depicts an original traditional Chinese martial arts story, which takes you back to 1990s, the golden years of classic RPG games.
[High level of freedom for exploration]
With reference to the real ancient river terrain, we designed a huge map containing Jingzhou, Xiaoxiang, Bashu, Jiangdong and the central plains. Countless sects scattered amoung the map, with ancient towns and labyrinths. There is no fixed route. Go wherever you want and explore the world at your own pace.
[Multiple story plots, routes and teammates to meet and experience]
Experience stories with over 10 thousand words in text. Meet with different people along the journey; prodigals, talents, officers or bandits. You can choose to enjoy and relax in this world with friends, or work hard to gain the ultimate power. Choices are up to you.
[Many sects for martial arts cultivation]
There will be Sects to enter and hundreds of scriptures to learn. Sword, broadsword, staff, fist, palm, finger, dagger, musical instrument… Each Sect would have its own strengths.
Different attributes may end up in forming completely different KungFu sets, withover a dozen martial arts routes for you to develop.
The free trial version is open, add to your wishlist if you like it!~ヽ(∀゜ )人( ゜∀)ノ

Hisato no Saku
A quick, fun, and replayable experience.
I failed pretty quickly on my first playthrough, but on my second I made it all the way to the end and did fairly well with my food stores and my village survived the winter.
Thinking I had it all figured out, I played again a couple days later and was not able to achieve the same success again, failing a number of times, and making it to the end once but without enough food stored for my whole village.
There are a lot of little details to pick up on for strategy, and then of course there is some luck involved as well. I hope to eventually make it to the end with a village population that is actually happy but I have a feeling that will take some time.

I was looking forward to this based on cool art style and hoped for a chill game similar to “papers, please”
So far it’s delivering on my expectations. The gameloop is somewhat random, and there aren’t so many ‘stranger’ types I’ve encountered, so it seems fun to replay but not infinitely so (and FWIW the slow text scroll to end each night can’t be skipped).
Update: I’ve had no issues since the developer’s first update. It runs as expected and is a fun 20-40 minute challenge I still haven’t beat. Recommended.

The friends of Ringo Ishikawa
“The friends of Ringo Ishikawa” is a freeroaming beat em up game. In this game, you take on the role of Ringo Ishikawa, a japanese highschool delinquent, who lives alone without any family members. And experience his daily life together with his four delinquent friends.
The player is given a lot of freedom in this game. You have your own apartment where you can return to, to save the game through sleeping, to read a book, or to sit down at your desk and study. Outside, you can go to school, visit the school’s library, attend classes, pay close attention to the teacher and take notes during class or stare out of the window. Or you could be sitting in a cafe somewhere, drinking tea while killing time while smoking. Or maybe somewhere in a park, doing pull-ups to improve your max HP. Or just do what highschool delinquents are known to do, squatting in the corner smoking cigarettes and having fistfights with students from rival factions. The player will get hungry in this game, which will affect your academic performance and other things. You can spend the money you looted from KO’ed enemies or scholarship money from having good test result to purchase various food/drinks.

The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa
The friends of Ringo Ishikawa is a charming beat em' up.
Set in a random Japanese city, you play as Ringo Ishikawa. He’s a senior in high-school at a crossroads in his life. Being a leader of a school gang, Ringo needs to re-focus his path in life. Study in school, or train. The game begins very well. No title screen or intro card are shown. It’s just you and your bud fighting on a train. Lo-fi Hip-Hop plays and fits very well with the backdrop of the contemporary Japanese setting.

Whisper Trip
I really love this game I can’t wait for the next chapters.
– Real player with 8.1 hrs in game
Whisper Trip is a fast-paced, strategic hack and slash, side scrolling, platformer game with a difficulty spike that comes on too strong in the beginning levels of the game. One thing that should be noted, this game is rough to play on mouse and keyboard. I enjoy the general concept and where the difficulty is trending but combined with wonky controls and physics it makes it a very frustrating experience.
It’s difficult for me to give this a thumbs down, I genuinely enjoyed it and found moments of fun and engaging gameplay and because for some people this may be their cup of tea or might be much more adept out of the gate. I found myself getting stuck on walls or spinning endlessly on top of enemies on a corner and other buggy elements that added to the already frustrating element of gameplay where you can expect to die a lot. Sometimes enemies will randomly fire very fast or not when they have other times. There is also no save menu, so if you start a new game accidentally you will lose all your progress, not ideal if multiple people are playing on the same machine.
